Hello to all Tacoma owners on this site.My 2011 Tacoma TRD Double w. 6 speed manual,4.0 is my 9th Toyota truck since my 1972 Hi-Lux.It was bought U in real good shape in April,a local trade in here in NE Oregon.It's my 9th Toyota truck since my 1st new vehicle,a '72 Hi-Lux bought in Baker.The snow tire recommendations on-line are all over the map so I'd like some definitive answers to:the best snows for ice,black ice & snow.Criteria are:studdable,not AP or AT,Winter Dedicated,Not 10 ply.I've got 265/70R 17's as my regular tires.L. Schwab Back Country's which are ok.Been looking at Firestone 2 UV Winterforce,maybe General Graber Arctic XL AND???My winter driving will be mostly 2 lane or freeway.Anybody...Help.THank you.
